Rod Antal

driver we expecting wear shutdown. we're one routine It be The of they item expected have are the than They've the But had replacement replace the blades, agitator first quarter. to to. because just like for this them a much lasted will main to wear. and they eventually longer

Ovais Habib

at exploration moving just drilling then Ardich. And to on

any to mentioned we And the infill? drilling around have expectations? that us as started can premium and You results give timeframe. mostly that April that indication to an some been come had Has you of step-out according sort

Steward Beckman

Yes.

the see. So the then what the out. breaking and stepping out we're expected confirmed resource. the we weeks, next infill drillings in we've planning existing around When on you'll been update we it And -- issue to few

Steward Beckman

the for than is in challenge Seabee The term the mine rather plant. longer the

regarding in extra comment So putting jumbos. we are equipment the some there. My

plant the jumbos. a are working and to up for There able rate. get equipment, at to some rate be order we're plants improvement to new on some in So the mine higher other requests feed

promising Seabee. good So traction. get to seen. us But at would anything upside a beyond have while numbers you take It'll that definitely there's the some not previously for I'm

Ovais Habib

of can stockpile And what as you the grade? give then indication XX,XXX just to us the any tonnes information on

Steward Beckman

I think January. they in start

Cosmos Chiu

Okay.

Stewart Beckman

need they progressively across they get getting work. so take And and usually start moving it to it. start equipment freeze to to it for February, then to -- ready to it one run the trucks to across smaller may it. they to wait harden, hardens start by Certainly, to they're then Then, about

Cosmos Chiu

maybe And out And exploration is here. looking Report last great here, big maybe a some Technical of terms we kind you maybe what one to some just could area at in there a production Rod. was see detail in terms we Again, top are Rod talk some of three-year key might wondering Thanks, more But to kind portfolio, trucks Rod, is Marigold, that's expect costs? are we core clearly out previously it, there looking coming out pit about, optimizing one taking about of expecting terms start again, sort details CapEx, the timing what of in And -- or chatter in what's be? you're well. put longer-term not on a as of can and that about catalyst for of the as picture and Çöpler expect? expecting it's and question, step at coming in the guidance, when new back, talked results the when of at portfolio.

were place. the business of it's we to going do prospects and are framework lot business, capital as need a thoughts of our lot and and about for a the was important, what to deliver, where do in getting think a what's growth, we we the doing prioritize place elements from team starting in So usual as what get already contain to

in with and regards, in out quarter further that's moving seeing, And next ground So here and coming that's into in I hit why obviously, think, -- next running. lot of the you're a this three year. catalysts other results we've a play the what the quarter of up number the

and anyone, about surprise we did shape it. good really be to a talk in shouldn't that we're because So,

as are probably intensity continue forward beyond growth in because we as opportunities is shareholders mentioned, year high-yielding and Brownfields that that some capital of prioritizing this course, out. and beyond play that because the just strategy our bang plays to best our capital Greenfield allocation I for to the But capital looking of for of right well. mean that a quite a needs year number extensive And allotment and what we we and SSR is invest I've exciting lot the next now moving the that buck clearly money of opportunities, I how terms there a to an I the that we're them see story see evolve growth, us out. grow an our we we'll few retain out that's In plays low how element think said want of that opportunities front within progressing might at there of that times across through a near-mine. and portfolio, into portfolio have

So we've before start got a to platform a us. with. got role great We
